Job Description
Our client is a leading offshore law firm seeking to appoint an experienced private client lawyer into one of their key offices.
This is an opportunity to take a real part in growing the firm's private client offering in the office. You would do that role and the work together with the backing of senior lawyers already in the business.
The work is principally high-end trusts work, together with foundations and employee benefit trusts, with some wills and probate. Clients are HNW private individuals and their families, trustees and fiduciaries, and the professional advisers who act for them. A good deal of the work is cross-border.
Alongside the technical side, business development is a genuine part of this role. You will be expected to play an active part in building relationships, in the local market and further afield, and an appetite for that is as important here as the legal ability.
You will be England and Wales, or other Commonwealth, qualified, with a credible and impressive private client background gained at a well-regarded onshore or offshore firm(s). A minimum of five years' PQE is required, and the role would best suit someone at eight years' PQE or more, at senior associate level or above. Offshore experience is welcome but is not needed.
The role offers a competitive salary reflecting the seniority of the appointment, together with Guernsey's 20% income tax rate, a comprehensive benefits package and relocation support for anyone moving to the island.
